Signs of spring
As I was going out for what I call my "long run" around the lake, I really took the time to take it all in. A weeks ago there was 2 feet of snow freshly fallen and now there is nothing but slop. Sign of spring :)
I noticed the small of the lake, the melting of the lake with the "out of their mind" ice fisherman still out there. Note again...Sign of spring :)
I rounded the corner and the small of warm blacktop roasting in the sun hit me. I love that smell. Sign of spring :)
The fresh air blowing on my too warmly dressed self realizing that I WAY overdressed for this run. There were kids playing outside with shorts. Sign of spring :)
This coming weekend and week for that matter we are going to experince the warmest days of the year so far. Calling for the high 50's! Wednesday I will be bringing the bike to work that day for a lunchtime ride if it doesn't rain. Sign of spring :)
Knowing that a lot of outside stuff will start happening on a regular basis just gets me ready to bike and run outside for the sheer enjoyment of it. Training will be a secondary benefit at least for now.

I'm loving it too!! Living through winter sure makes spring a treat!
YES! 50 tomorrow too! Get some miles in and enjoy them. For the shear sake of moving outside.
I love spring!
Game on!

My favorite sign of spring is the return of the robins. I could have swore I saw a small flock of them in a crab apple tree the other night, but in the shadows it was hard to know for sure. Any robins in Madison yet?
